Profile configure truncate xml

Hi,

We have configured new profiles/roles in NAV using the -configure start parameter.
The configuration has been an ongoing process with many steps.
It seems that NAV saves each step in the process on the profile, which makes the profile data massive.
When we export to XML file, it seems all steps are saved.

Example on how i guess things are stored:
Step 1: We configure genral journal moving a report from tab 3 to tab 2
Step 2: We configure genral journal moving a report from tab 2 to tab 4
Step 3: We give report new name
Step 4: We configure genral journal moving a report from tab 4 to tab 1

At this point every step are stored.
In my book we would only need to save step 3 and 4 because step 1 and 2 are obsolete.

How can we truncate this data, so only active changes are saved? Or am I wrong about this? :)

Thanks

    Do mean how can I automate truncating/exctracting only useful steps?

    Otherwise, if it is is one-off you can edit the XML and remove surplus nodes in any text editor

    Hi Slawek,

    Yes precisely - How to extract only useful steps.
    Manually edit XML is not an option on this one, since a lot of changes has been made.
